Lock-in and path dependence: an evolutionary approach to eco-innovations (2014, background): “As Foxon and Pearson (2008) argue, “Promoting a diversity of technology and institutional options” can help overcome the lock-in of unsustainable technologies and supporting institutions.”
Comparing systems approaches to innovation and technological change for sustainable and competitive economies: an explorative study into conceptual commonalities, differences and complementarities (2010, background): “organisational and institutional changes to the knowledge base of existing production systems [9, 34].”
How do low-carbon policies promote green diffusion among alliance-based firms in China? An evolutionary-game model of complex networks (2019, background): “A case study of low-carbon-energy innovation in the UK demonstrated that the establishment of an environmental system greatly helps to promote the diffusion of eco-friendly technologies (Foxon and Pearson, 2008).”
The role of transnational dimensions in emerging economy 'Technological Innovation Systems' for clean-tech (2015, background): “Secondly, analysts have been in search of possible ‘typical’ system failures (for certain categories of technologies) and policy issues that are most pertinent in each phase of TIS maturation (e.g., del Río and Bleda, 2012; Foxon and Pearson, 2008; Negro et al., 2010; van Alphen et al., 2009).”
Mobilizing private finance for low-carbon innovation – A systematic review of barriers and solutions (2017, unknown): “Improving positive expectations of future market opportunities, encouraging private capital into the less mature and difficult-to-finance technologies and the regulation of financial markets to redirect financial capital in productive investments represent incentives for financiers [13,33,75,155].”
Developmental States and Sustainability Transitions: Prospects of a Just Transition in South Africa (2016, methodology): “Although the notion of a ‘policy regime’ has been used in the systems innovation literature, it is never defined and its intent is mangerialist rather than a way of understanding political dynamics (see Foxon & Pearson, 2008).”
Exploring the role of phase-out policies for low-carbon energy transitions: the case of the German Energiewende (2017, unknown): “Given various barriers, lock-ins, path dependencies and resistance to low-carbon energy transitions further government intervention in steering them is required [4,20,64 – 71] (see also Bergek et al. in this issue).”
Policy mixes for sustainability transitions: An extended concept and framework for analysis (2016, background): “The importance of a long-term strategic orientation and strategic policy frameworks has been increasingly underscored in the literature addressing sustainability transitions (Foxon and Pearson, 2008; Quitzow, 2015a; Weber and Rohracher, 2012) and policytriggered environmental technological change (R”
Transition policy and innovation policy: Friends or foes? (2011, background): “In the Netherlands energy transition policy has been formally in place since 2001 and is presently well institutionalized in the national system of environmental governance [15,16,17].”
What is challenging renewable energy entrepreneurs in developing countries (2016, background): “Obstacles to improving the uptake of renewable energy technologies, such as infrastructural, logistical and cost-efficacy problems related to upscaling/expanding demonstration projects [68] and the lack of attention paid to increasing demand by setting up and developing end-user markets [22,69], are”
Sustainable innovation, business models and economic performance: an overview (2013, background): “…of socio-technical systems towards sustainability, sustainability transitions and system innovations is a rapidly growing field having both an analytical and an action-oriented branch (e.g. Rotmans et al., 2001; Grin et al., 2010; Geels, 2005; Foxon and Pearson, 2008; Van den Bergh et al., 2011).”
